The Client retained DCCM to provide engineering and design for the installation of a new 35 kV circuit crossing the Brazos River. This crossing represented a critical tie needed to bring a 35 kV line to feed new developments. This was required to relieve load on existing circuits. The planning department had originally called for this new 35 kV line to double-stack with an existing 12 kV crossing. However, due to distance and NESC® construction grade requirements, this new circuit had to be located on the opposite side of the street. Abstracts and topography maps were required to ensure proper pole placement. To make up for sag of over 975 feet of spacing and ground elevation changes relative to the bridge between poles, the concrete poles had to be 110 feet. This job required working closely with the Client’s Standards and Materials department to create special standards of framing specific to this work. The project required permitting from TxDOT, GLO, and USACE.
